Business Outlook

Pros

Good work life balance. Immense opportunities. Well set processes and abundant resources.

Cons

India Management is a kind of "I do because I feel" and not of "I do because it is needed and right in many aspects". Salary hikes are very low in %. (slow monetary growth) If you are manager's favourite, you will get the maximum in all respect (fast growth).
